Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit
We spend so much of life chasing happiness, believing that if we could just get there, we’d finally feel complete. But Jesus opens His most famous sermon with a statement that turns our view of happiness upside down: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
In this message, we unpack what it really means to be “poor in spirit,” why true joy can only be found when we come to God empty-handed, and how material abundance and moral excellence can actually keep us from the life God wants for us.

Blessed Are the Mourners
We usually think of mourning as something to avoid. But Jesus said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
This message looks at what Jesus meant by mourning, and how it goes beyond grief or sadness. It is about grieving over sin: what it has done to us, in us, and around us. You will learn how mourning over sin leads to the comfort of God’s grace and the transformation of your heart.

Blessed Are the Humble
Most of us want to be in control. We try to manage every detail, fix every problem, and keep every plate spinning. But Jesus teaches a better way: “Blessed are the humble, for they will inherit the earth.”

Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness
We are all hungry for something: purpose, peace, acceptance, achievement, security. But the things we chase have a way of leaving us emptier than before.
Jesus speaks directly to that deep inner hunger when He says: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” (Matthew 5:6)
Week 5 · November 16, 2025
Blessed Are the Merciful
In this message, we continue our journey through the Beatitudes by looking at Jesus’ call to live a life marked by mercy. In a world quick to condemn, cancel, and keep score, Jesus invites us into something radically different: a life shaped by the mercy we ourselves have received from God.
Week 6 · November 23, 2025
Blessed Are the Pure in Heart
Jesus teaches that the pure in heart are the ones who truly see God. In this message, we explore what purity of heart actually means, why our inner life shapes everything we do, and how small compromises grow into major spiritual problems. Drawing from Mark 7 and Matthew 5:8, we walk through the difference between managing the gap and closing the gap, with practical steps to cultivate a single-hearted devotion to Jesus.

Blessed Are the Peacemakers
Conflict is a reality for all of us. In this message on Matthew 5:9, Kyle talks honestly about what it means to follow Jesus into those places and bring peace instead of avoiding the tension.
Using the story of Abigail from 1 Samuel 25, we look at how one person with courage, humility, and faith can change the entire direction of a situation.

Blessed Are the Persecuted
If you’re living a godly life, what should you expect? Many of us assume following Jesus leads to smooth sailing, but Jesus ends the Beatitudes with a surprising truth: persecution is inevitable for those who follow Him. From 1 Peter 4, we discover how to respond to the fire of persecution.
